[Adopted 3-16-1989]
The Town of Ghent does hereby resolve to adopt
the following Affirmative Action/Minority and Women-Owned Business
Enterprise Policy Statement which shall constitute its Affirmative
Action Plan:
The Town of Ghent has been and will continue
to be an equal opportunity organization. No Minority and Women-Owned
Business Enterprise (MWBE) employee or applicant for employment will
be discriminated against because of race, color, religion, national
origin, sex, age, disability, sexual preference or Vietnam Era Veteran
status. We will take affirmative action to ensure that MWBEs, applicants
and employees are treated without regard to these characteristics.
To carry out our policy, the Town of Ghent will:
A.
Include minority and women-owned businesses in our
solicitations;
B.
Recruit, hire, train, place and promote persons for
all jobs without regard to race, religion, color, national origin,
sex, age, disability, sexual preference or Vietnam Era Veteran status;
C.
Take affirmative steps to ensure that MWBEs have full
participation in our procurement process; and
D.
Administer other personnel functions, such as compensation,
benefits, transfers, layoffs, returns from layoffs and company-sponsored
training, education, tuition assistance and social and recreation
programs without regard to race, religion, color, national origin,
sex, age, disability, sexual preference or Vietnam Era Veteran status.
The Town of Ghent will periodically analyze
its procurement and personnel actions to ensure compliance with this
policy.
